Katrina Herweh , LISW

Katrina Herweh is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) practicing in Ohio who brings five years of clinical social work experience focused on supporting youth and families. A Cincinnati native, she combines professional training with a personal love of hiking and coffee to create an approachable and steady presence for those she works with.

She earned a Bachelor of Social Work from Xavier University and a Master of Arts in Social Work from Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, and she is pursuing a PhD in Social Work at Loyola University Chicago with research interests in pediatric medical trauma. Her LISW credential indicates independent clinical licensure as a social worker in Ohio.

Katrina specializes in treating trauma and post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, and related mood concerns, and she also supports people navigating grief, life transitions, and feelings of isolation or shame. Her clinical toolkit includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, which she tailors to each person’s needs.

She prioritizes building a warm, collaborative therapeutic relationship that centers the individual or family’s goals and strengths, and she seeks to provide clear, practical steps toward coping and growth.

Approaches and online care tailored to individual needs

Katrina draws on Client-Centered Therapy to place the person at the heart of the process, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration so individuals can explore values, strengths, and goals at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation, often helping with behavioral goals and engagement in treatment.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katrina will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, preferences, and goals, and she adapts techniques over time as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and consistent access to support. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide structured, goal-oriented care and make it easier to attend sessions from different locations while maintaining continuity of treatment.
